[QUOTE="Lee Dickinson, post: 34455, member: 79"] Re: Another Stage Collapse One strong benefit of buttresses over guy wires is that they provide strength in tension and in compression. I would think it would be massively stronger. Tie the buttresses to the climbing blocks on beefy hinges, and then pin them to your under-stage cross members once the roof was at height. Or even just to crossmembers that formed a triangle with the bottom of the upright. Has worked well for cathedrals that sure look like they should have blown down by now. I'm still baffled at the lack of cross-bracing cable, though. [/QUOTE]
